DennisLee

2006-02-16, 3:23 am

I found some information, but, it didn't work.

Now, i open the enterprise manager, and My SQL Server name is
DENNIS\DENNISDB(wind
ows NT), but i want to change this name to default
name(local), when i installed sql, i changed the instance name, i want
default name.

I used this method.


EXEC sp_dropserver 'DENNISDB'
go
EXEC sp_addserver 'DENNIS', 'local'
go

and i restart SQL Server Service and,

SELECT CONVERT(char(20), SERVERPROPERTY('serv
ername'))
result : DENNIS\DENNIDB

select @@SERVERNAME
result : DENNIS

But, stil Instance name On My Enterprize Manager is DENNIS\DENNISDB, I want
"(local)" instance

Help me plase..

You cannot change instance name. You would have to install a new instance with desired name and move
the databases from the old instance to the new instance.

Dennis,

Sp_addserver and SP_Dropserver are procedures use to establish linked
servers, thats is SQL Server to SQL Server connection. In that way you can
make 4 parts statements against any linked server ie
server.catalog.schema.object.

So say you have SQL Server A and SQL Server B:

On Server A you want to make Statement against server B. You can establish
this my making server B a linked server on Server A. So on Server A you isue
the SP_addserver statment with Server B as the target server. See the online
help for more information

They are required after you changed the machine name in windows. SQL Server stores both
remote/linked servers as well as the local machine name in the sysservers table. If you change the
machine name in Windows, sysservers will not reflect this, hence the need for those.
